By far best of this genre ever. Even if you ignore the gruesome special effects, the movie was still superbly acted and directed. Everything else is distant second.
Its the movie considered by me as the scariest shooted in real style... Awesome one
I can't believe that any other movies have gotten votes, must be that either they have not watched this movie or they watched a stupid spinoff, this is the scariest movie ever.

I love this movie! it was more funny than scary though.
remember the old lady in the bath tub! ugh!
"All work no play makes Jack a dull boy. "
"Red rum"
"Come play with us forever and ever and ever. "
The lady in the bathtub.
The maze.
Do I need another reason? This movie is the type that after you watch it you're thinking it's bad but then all of a sudden you're too afraid to move! Watch it. Now.
+1the great sci fi horror of all time, this movie when it came out, it established that maybe Aliens are not too friendly like E. T.
+1No one could forget the chestburster scene. This should be in the top 10.

It seriously freaked me out... watching the movie at night alone was the stupidest decision of my life... couldn't sleep without the lights on for a couple of days... the background music itself freaks you out...
It has a weird deformed chick that is dead, might add and the sound she makes gets stuck in your head for weeks!
This is a very scary movie itself but try the original Japanese movie. The scariest movie I've ever seen!

+4Ugh cannibalism freaks me out BIG time! and how they look *shivers*
misskikii
Couldn't sleep for weeks...
it sends shivers down my spine every time.
+4The slasher genre wouldn't exist if not for this John Carpenter masterpiece. Watch the original before you judge.
+2Come on people Halloween is the best one out of all the others because Michael Myers is pure evil! You'll all see what I'm talking about after 08/31/07. Halloween indeed is the creator of all slasher films, if it wasn't 4 this movie... Nightmare on elm street, friday the 13, and all those so-called "Scariest movies" would not exist! So think again and vote for Halloween
-1this is the best of the whole wide worlds horror movie.. I was in hospital for 3 days aftr watchin this movie
I Watched this Movie and I COULD NOT SLEEP FOR At least 5 days
This movie was so good! It was kinda sad what they did to her, I think the kids got what was comin for them. I just she did not die! Well fall of a building, best movie yet!
+5I hate any Final Destination movie in the sense that it scares me really bad.
The third one has already made me swear off tanning beds, by the way, and I've never even been in one.

+1This movie is not that scary but I hate the feeling when you are waiting for the death of the characters and it is hard to expect the unexpected.. Err
The unexpected is what freaks me out and I have to scream when the killing happen. It is really not scary is the building up to the point is so
Ever since watching this I have to cover my t. v screen in my room every night!
misskikii
this movie is the best! xD their making a 3rd 1! omg so cool o. o

"The ultimate fear... the fear of going to sleep.

because of freddy I can't sleep the day I watched "Nightmare on Elm Street" he was very scary
No one can say that they weren't afraid of Freddy.
This was scary as hell doors slamming lights turning on footprints in the talcum powder and the guy thrown at the camera at the end it is scary as hell!
Scarier than any movie to all people except those who are too lazy to watch the whole movie and wait for a plot to develop or those who have a.d.d.
MarioDati
Very scary movie. Things moving by themselves, terror, demonic possession, night, entity and many fear...

More comments about Paranormal ActivityIt won film of the year, no other horror has done that, therefore this is the best. Scary for all the right reasons and a story that has quality, who could ask for more.
THE SCARIEST THING IS THAT HE GETS IN THE MIND AND THAT IS SCARIER THAN CHASING AND CUTTING SOMEONE IT'S THE SUSPENSE NOT THE GORE
this movie gave me chills and made me sleep with my lights on every night for a month...
More comments about The Silence of the LambsPpl didn't get this movie that's why they hated it, The reason why they filmed scenes like them in the Shops or them havin' conversations is to make it seem real, e. g. anybody would film this stuff they filmed. And they didn't show the witch, because using your imagination is the scariest monster there is
roblist
soooo scary!!!!!!!I actually thought it was a real video!!!
This is the scariest movie ever! It's also my favorite. The ending is a little hard to understand but if you go back and look at the conversations at the beginning of the movie, you should understand it.
More comments about The Blair Witch ProjectThe greatest film of all time! The special effects are great! I personally think that there isn't a horror film like it. No one is safe because they don't trust each other! Definitely watch this!
one of the originals, people think that this is the scariest movie of all time,
This is one the greatest and most original movies ever. Another classic from John Carpenter

so sharks don't really kill a lot of people but you probably thought twice about jumping in the water
Reminded me a lot of scooby doo, the characters looked like people from scooby doo and there was a bad guy and a chase!
THIS IS A CLASSIC I RECOMMEND THE 2010 VERSION KILLER CUT... It left me shaking. This though is nothing compared to the human centipede movies ugh
look, for those of you out there that were a disapointed of what this film was rated, I'll admit that this movie is historical, but its not totally scary nowadays
I watch it in English class not so scary but was ve
ry interesting I like the black and white version better
“Sooo suspenseful, especially when the killer is first looking for victims in the house
+1How in the world did this not make it here when movies such as Saw and I Am Legend are here!? On halloween what do the majority of people wear a scream mask. This is a signature name in the horror genre.
DalglishIsBack
Amazing movie, much suspense. Way better than friday the thirteenth.
“its a superb movie... I loved it... it was als so much scary... but I loved it...
“Mad Me Scared To Sleep In A House That Looked Like That!!
I am a HUGE horror fan and I thought that movie was awesome! The rape scene was one of the best acting scenes in the whole movie, unbelievable.

More comments about The Hills Have Eyesi see dead people...all the time
Good movie with a twist some people can communicate with the dead whether they want to or not God decides
This creeped me out big time when I was younger as I believed in ghosts. It still creeps me out now.

The only movie to make me cry. It is so disturbing and emotional. That jump scene at the end is one hell of a jump scene!

Its just unbeaten...
Bruce campbell shows his real talent...
He is just unbelievable...! 11
Made me pee my pants and has a very good plot and good actors.

Just watching this movie makes me shiver to my spine... The storyline was creepy and the acting of everyone was amazing. Still remember I was alone and there were 20 to 30 people in the theatre and after watching the movie when I was walking I kept on looking back to check if anyone was following me...
“Great movie! I love it. It is good picture and quality for a older movie. I even like the idea. Time to find Damien: Omen II!
thrillerlover
“This is a vote for the 1976 "The Omen." Not that two bit hack job that opened on 6/6/06. This movie freakin traumatized me the first time I saw it. It sent Christians into counselling.

You have to watch this in the cinemas to get the real experince because when the mutants jump out at you they scare the ________ out of you.
“Thats right part 2. 1 is good but part 2 is the introdution of Jason. I always thought the sack over his head was better than the hockey mask anyway.
lapana
“Better than the 1st.
Clive Barker is a horror genius. Doug Bradley as Pinhead is the best villain in a horror picture ever.
Suspenseful in an almost-too realistic way...
Probably the best of the franchise.
lukestheman4
I ran out of the movie theatre the first time I tried to watch this movie.
the jackal is the scariest of them all...no doubt once so ever

Scariest haunted house movie ever made ftr amytiville horror!
its really awesome. the things showed thought to have set by good innovative person.
It is too bad movie to watch before sleeping, you must take sleeping pills at the end
Based on some reviews, this movie still stands as one of the most disgusting movie ever made.
Wes Craven's first movie has all the good stuff that horror should be made of: Two teenager girls and villains that just escaped from prison. The meeting between the two young girls and the escaped convicted will prove a disaster. But to whom?

This classic Universal horror film is one of the greatest movies of all-time.
Besides Dracula, to me this is one of the greatest vampire stories you will ever see.

“Asian horrors are the best. Try the ORIGINAL "Grudge" (Ju-on) and "Ring" (Ringu).
Soovey
“Amazing. Show realistic, surreal, insane scenes of gore that with leave you in shock. Plus, the ending with Freebird is simply amazing.
Nearly bloodless horror tale packs a frightening wallop. It's all about atmosphere and character. George C Scott and cast bring their a-game to this ghost story.
This is the most underrated horror film ever created. It tells the story of a man who has lost his family in an accident. He then purchases an old house to rebuild his life and focus on his music. A ghost of a young boy who was murdered over 80 years ago tries to contact him to solve the mystery. The house is creepy and the movie will make you jump for 2 hours. This movie will also give you a fear of wheelchairs. I bought this movie a year ago and it never fails to creep me out. It is hard to find but is my favourite horror film. The seance scene will give you chills!
DarkLord
“Not the black and white but the 1988 version. This is a twisted story about a US bio-weapon that gets out of control. Very scary movie but the ending takes the cake. Must see.
lapana
I think this was the scariest of all the Grudge's! This is the only horror movie that actually gave me nightmares!
misskikii

“That little blonde girl will conquer Hollywood. Fanning was really good, and DeNiro wasn't bad either. Love it!

“Voo Doo, zombies and a guys balls getting nailed to a chair. Now thats scary, not to mention this is a true story.
